Screw Pile installation for lamp posts: Benefits and advantages

Screw piles offer a much simpler alternative for lamp post bases. They provide a secure foundation without the need for waiting or the expenses of excavating and backfilling. Postech Screw Piles can be installed in minutes by a single worker using one piece of equipment, eliminating the need for a whole crew with multiple heavy machinery. The process is self-monitoring, ensuring you know exactly how firmly the screw pile is installed and the stability of the foundation it will provide.

Benefits of Using Postech Screw Piles

Quick and Efficient Installation

When you use Postech Screw Piles for the base of your residential street lighting, you can install your outdoor light immediately after our expert installer completes the screw pile installation. There’s no need to wait for concrete to set or harden, allowing you to complete your lamp post project promptly.

Stability and Durability

Since the screw pile is installed below the frost line, it provides a stable foundation unaffected by ground movement caused by frost. This ensures there is no danger of the lamp post tipping to one side due to freezing or mud. The foundation remains secure throughout the installation and long after.

Minimal Disruption to Surroundings

Clean and Unintrusive Installation

The installation of Postech Screw Piles creates much less disruption to the surrounding area compared to other methods. They can be installed with existing landscaping or parking lot pavement in place, avoiding extensive repairs post-installation. In fact, Postech Screw Piles are the only type of foundation that can be installed as a lamp post base and other landscaping accessories without disturbing the surrounding area, making them perfect for retrofitting into existing facilities.

Easy Removal and Reinstallation

Minimal Environmental Impact

If the lamp post needs to be removed, Postech Screw Piles can be extracted with the same piece of equipment used for installation, causing minimal disruption to the surrounding area. Apart from the screw pile hole, there is no significant damage or disturbance to the environment.
